I don't understand, they say "all you need is a screen". What about they keyboard. You need a wire, a screen, and a keyboard. This seems ridiculously impractical, i would rather carry a tablet or a laptop. Where, in normal circumstances, am I going to show up to a place that has a keyboard and a screen, but not a computer?

Work places where you'd normally dock a laptop, for example. But I'd rather carry a laptop, quite frankly. While the MouseBox would be far more portable, it would not offer anywhere near the same freedom as a laptop would, and it would be underpowered by necessity.

A further problem is that some people simply don't like your average cheapo mouse, and some people prefer very light mice.

It's a weird concept.

Yeah, I'm very particular about mice. I don't really care about my keyboard, but my mouse has to be perfect. I have a Logitech Anywhere MX, and it's the best mouse I've ever had.

This mouse looks like the cheapo ones you see tech stores giving away on black Friday.

Your own office. You plug it into your own monitor and keyboard at work, then pack it up and take home.
